Renewal of the career support system "candidacy system

Sanyo Industry Co. (President: Naoyuki Inoue), headquartered in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, will completely renew its "Candidacy System," a benefit program to support employee career development, on October 1, 2025. This system was established to respect each employee's desire to "challenge" and "grow," and to make this desire a reality. The renewed system will allow employees to take on more advanced challenges, such as proposing new businesses or establishing new departments or bases. This system also applies to employees of Sanyo Industry's "Production Promotion Group" (*1), who are active in the manufacturing dispatch business, and is designed to provide equal opportunities for all employees to take on new challenges.

Candidacy System

Background of System Renewal

System reforms born from a "culture of leaning on others.

At Sanyo Kogyo, we value a culture of "leaning" that supports employees in their daily work and dialogue, rather than relying on systems for their career development. By setting goals for all employees so that they can find "who they want to be" and providing opportunities to confront their growth and challenges through regular interviews, we have built an environment in which career advancement can be achieved naturally without the use of systems. Because such an environment was already in place, the conventional candidacy system was not utilized in many cases and functioned only as a "receptacle" to receive the thoughts and intentions of employees. In light of this background, we have redefined the role of the candidacy system and renewed it to be more flexible and effective.

System Operation Policy

Sanyo Kogyo respects above all the desire of each and every employee to "take on challenges" and "grow. In renewing the system, we have greatly expanded the framework of the system so that employees can propose new challenges on their own initiative. We believe that the system should not limit the possibilities of our employees, but rather serve as a "foundation" for expanding those possibilities. Therefore, we have evolved the system from the previous "candidacy system for the purpose of obtaining a post" to a system that enables employees to take on challenges according to their diverse visions for the future, such as "proposing new businesses," "establishing new departments and offices," and "developing next-generation human resources. The purpose of this system is not to have the company take the lead in career development, but to have employees build their own careers through their own proactive expression of will. The system itself does not play the leading role, but rather serves as a "vessel" to receive the wishes of employees, and we will continue to operate the system with flexibility and care so that each and every employee can carve out his or her own path of personal growth.

Outline of the New Candidate System

The new system, however, provides more flexible and diverse options according to each employee's desire to "try something new" or "take on a role of this kind. Under the new system, employees can submit their candidacy through a designated format. This system is operated as a mechanism for employees to directly convey their own ideas to the company.

Future Prospects

Sanyo Industry regards the challenge and growth of each and every employee as a fundamental element that supports the sustainable development of the company. The revision of the candidacy system is not a mere change to the system, but an important measure to establish a culture of "motivating the organization based on the voice of employees. It is noteworthy that the new system also applies to employees working in the manufacturing dispatch field, which embodies Sanyo Industry's attitude of accepting the willingness of all employees to take on challenges, regardless of job type. In the future, Sanyo Industry will continue to visualize the process of bringing proposals to fruition and the surrounding support system to foster a "climate in which challenges are welcomed" throughout the organization. Sanyo Industry respects the will of its employees to "try things that have never been done before" and is committed to working together with them to realize this vision. Our goal in providing career support is to create an environment in which employees believe in their own potential and can envision their future. Sanyo Industry will continue to be a place that supports the realization of each individual's "ideal self" by listening sincerely to the voices of its employees and striving to foster a corporate culture that encourages them to take on new challenges.

(*1) Production Promotion Group: A business model in which all employees in the manufacturing temporary staffing business are hired as regular employees and assigned to our clients; started in 2016 and currently has over 1,500 employees. This is Sanyo Kogyo's unique approach that focuses on "human resource development" based on the three pillars of "recruitment, retention, and training," rather than simply "supplying human resources" as in the past.
